Hello,
I am estimating the effect of village education level (portion of villagers
who attended middle school) on share of village investment by the villagers
using a tobit estimator. Dependant and independent variables are both
between 0 and 1.
Once I set the ul (1) and the ll(0), negative coefficients return such as
"-4.985241"
xttobit vl_share edu_vill, ul(1) ll(0) i(countycode)
Coef. =Std. Err. z
P>z [95% Conf.Interval]
edu_vill -4.985241 2.46903 -2.02
0.043 -9.824451 -.1460307
How does one interpret the coefficient that is outside of the bounds placed
on the model?
Thank you for your guidance!
